...of Veterinary Medicine, regarding his expertise in constructing ship models. Tizard began reconstructing the ship from historical documents. When Arnold inquired about the possibility of CT scans prior to artifact cleaning, he suggested that Arnold contact a radiology specialist at the Veterinary Medical Teachi...

... Because it is a self-contained system, constructing a full-scale wet-tomb bioreactor would be costlier at the outset, Christy said. Unlike current landfills, the bioreactors need the machinery, such as pumps and pipes, to recirculate le...

...ct the north/south water imbalance in the 1960s by constructing a controversial 700-mile artificial river known as the California Aqueduct - the largest water conveyance project in the world. This system of concrete canals diverts millions of acre-feet of water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in the n...

...ed for select catalytic RNA molecules, a method of constructing them and a method for identifying aminoacylating molecules. Ever since the discovery in 1987 that it was feasible to attach unnatural amino acids to proteins, scientists have wondered how that tantalizing possibility with its potential for engineer...

...orks useful for studying basic neuroscience or for constructing elaborate neural biosensors."One problem with biomaterials growing on a micropatterned array, however, is the long-term stability and retention of biological activity," Wheeler said. "Also, because the brain has ordered layers of cells, we believe t...

...stic program Carter had written for dogs and cats, constructing a searchable database of 223 infectious and parasitic diseases common to animals and humans. A 1997 limited laboratory trial of the program on several hundred actual cases of Brucellosis in man was a success, with the results published in the Cente...

...ap is another step toward the consortium's goal of constructing a high-density, high-quality map of SNPs throughout the human genome. The group has so far identified and mapped more than 1.5 million SNPs distributed throughout the genome....

...mally. Cdc18 levels increased when the cell began constructing the DNA copier, as normal, but then remained high. And all cells produced Cdt1, regardless of their point in cell division. The amount of DNA in the cells reflected the changes' effects on the DNA copier. Many cells with the mutant Cdc18 and Cdt1 c...

...etween FMRP and its associated messages, including constructing a reporter gene that could be a key to drug discovery," Dr. Warren said. In 1991, Dr. Warren and his colleagues discovered the FMR1 gene and were among the first to develop genetic tests to diagnose fragile X syndrome. In 1993, they discovered FM...

...lecules are the genetic templates for proteins. In constructing proteins, the mRNA template is transcribed from DNA genes and transported to the ribosomes the cells protein factories that are large complexes of protein and RNA. Given the importance of mRNA as an information-carrying molecule, the machinery that ...

... -- using reading, writing and constructing words based on alphabetic characters - would work nicely. It seemed to me that if we had chimps that were young enough, that they could learn to build that kind of system." Years before, on...

.... Muir said some companies are already considering constructing such testing facilities. "It's going to cost millions of dollars to build elaborate testing facilities that are as close to a natural setting as possible," he said. "But nobody said this is going to be easy. What's at stake is important enough to spe...

The Energy Department's Office of Science is funding the artificial retina project at $9 million over three years. The departm...

...ls are capable of expressing type VII collagen and constructing anchoring fibrils in a mouse model. Producing anchoring fibril structures in an animal, notes Chen, who is the first author on the paper, is a major step forward towards the use of gene therapy to actually treat patients with epidermolysis bullosa.
